Changed my plugs for the first time And yes it was quite the PITA. Pass side took about 1.5 hours. Got #2, 4, and 6 from the top after removing the AIR tube, Struggled with #8 for about half an hour from the bottom, then decided to take the O2 sensor out and that made a world of difference. Being 6'2" and 270 probably isn't the best for trying to squeeze my hand back there 
Driver's side was done in 15 min.
The stock plugs (63K miles) gap had eroded away to .070. I had a little bit of a rough idle that is now gone. It also cured a bad low rpm freeway stumble, so now 6th gear is usable again.
Well worth the $18 for the TR55s.

I feel your pain brother. I'm 6'7" with ham hands and i could not get to #8 from the top or bottom. Thanks to Chris (99blancoSS) it got done. He came to my house and changed #8 for me, what a guy!
